For sale is my Zenith El Primero Striking Tenth Limited Edition chronograph. This is the original 1/10th of a second Zenith chronograph in standard 42mm case, which was made in a limited run of 1,1969 pieces. This example is no. 12xx/1969 and is in fantastic, original condition. I have owned this watch approximately 15 months and have worn it sparingly and carefully, in rotation with several other watches. I would rate it conservatively at 95% and it retains ALL original boxes and documents, including blank warranty cards (which means you can register the watch yourself with Zenith for full warranty coverage - I never did it). It comes on a beautiful original Zenith alligator strap with Zenith buckle. The watch works perfectly and I haven't had a single issue with it. The only reason I am selling it is to make room for an incoming purchase.

The Striking Tenth is, in my opinion, one of the best values in the world of high-end horology, offering at true tenth of a second chronograph, in a beautiful case, with gorgeous tri-color dial for an amazing price. I can speak from experience when I say that owning this watch makes all other "normal" chronographs look boring, and I believe this to be an important piece in the history of Zenith, as it was the first watch of the "modern" era that has and will continue to produce some fantastic pieces at great prices.

I've included several photos below, all of which were taken today, as well as a video to see how amazing this thing is when it's running. I'm asking a very fair price of $6850 shipped overnight anywhere in the US. Original cost was $10,900, and Zenith has told me directly they have no plans of using this movement in this elegant, 42mm case again. This is a bargain for this watch, I think.

Let me know if you have any questions. Both the watch and myself are located in NYC and local deals are certainly welcomed.
